    Unibet: withdrawal problem & bet limit cut below $1

    Registered at Unibet because at Sportsbookreview they have B rating.

    Made $20 dep via Skrill.

    Then within 10 days after betting on value bets they cut my bet limit below $1 and when Im trying to withdraw $26 balance I have no more Skrill option. Only wire transfer Thats absurd.

    Talked to their support in Live Chat: they cannot help.

    My question: Is Unibet really deserves B rating at Sportsbookreview with such actions?

    Considering the fact they are most likely the victim of hoards of multi-accounters, letting a player that they severely limited after only 10 days withdraw by wire transfer seems to be not so bad. It's their way of stopping people from registering a bunch of accounts with a different ID each time. If you are a genuine player, you can just provide them with your bank account and they'll probably pay you without problems.

    I have only one account with them. What is the sence of wire transfer to pay the balance $26 if wire transfer comission is usually $25+

    Are they charging you 25$ for it? I doubt it...withdrawals are usually free at Unibet.

    I made deposit via Skrill and expect withdrawal back to it. I dont want wire transfer. Betting is part of my private life and I dont want my bank to know about it. Also with wire transfer I need to pay income taxes from the whole amount of transfer.

    When I was registering at B rated Unibet I didnt expect such problems with bet cut and withdrawal.

    They have switched you to wire only as a simple way to confirm you really are the person purporting to own the Skrill account.

    You should find your Skrill access turned back on after one successful wire at a guess.



    Unfortunately for us all there are 'companies' openly buying and selling Skrill accounts with basic ID included.

    They cut my bet limit, I even cannot make $1 bets. So I dont need any futher Skrill transfers from they. And they dont require any KYC actions from my side.
    If they would like to verify me, they can do it. But they dont ask me any of KYC steps.

    This is a KYC step really.

    Not much use asking ID of someone they see as a risk of having purchased a Skrill account and matching ID, so they do this.

    I don't know for sure of course, but chances are your limits will be restored after a successful wire too.

    Chances LOL Other Bookmakers who are interested in KYC ask for it directly. Here with Unibet I see only dirty tricks how not to pay and block betting.

    Just about all the well known books who take Skrill have been doing it to people.

    It's annoying and inconvenient but it's due to people selling the Skrill accounts, not them trying to steal from real people.

    Just give them the wire info I suggest. If you don't you might have problems at other books they share info with in the future.

    Optional, I dont share your opinion. As I said before, other Bookmakers ask for KYC directly.
    Unibet's dirty tricks is not what I expect from pretty high rated Bookmaker.

    And I expect other players can read about it and keep away from Unibet.

    If Unibet wants to skip KYC and ask for a bankaccount...that's their right. I don't think it''s plausible to tell them you don't have a bank account.

    So disabling Skrill after getting dep from it and cutting bets' limit below $1 - these are their fair options? Players need to lay under wills of bookmakers?

    What is rating dedicated for then?

    It is only their right if it was in terms and condition that player must keep bank account ready for withdraw from them if not -they cant required it from player and if they dont care about rules that they should be move to lower rating
